"Constructed in 1914, this unique and impressive Loinbardic Italian school building consists of a large two-story center section with single-story 35' X 75' wings on the south and north ends and a two-story 48' X 64' wing on the west (rear). The red-clay- tile-clad hipped roof is centered with a prominent gable flanked by square hipped-roof twin towers. The gable and towers form the centerpiece for the symmetrical front (east) facade. Lornbardic features include the arched corbel-tables located along the frieze which borders the top of the gable. Glazed brick and tile, in shades of of tan, rust, and brown, were used to create the elaborate ornamentation of the friezes and Roman arches. The reinforced concrete exterior of the building is coated with the original Kellastone stucco. The building retains its original wide front lawn, sidewalks, and pepper trees on the north side. It possesses integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, fooling and associations." (visit link)
